The mansion on the fairy island is built against the mountain, just like the hot spring in the backyard. The mountain wall surrounding the hot spring is used as a natural courtyard wall. The mansion is naturally not as magnificent as the Danxiao Palace, but it has its own natural charm. It is most suitable for the fairy couples like Danyu and Bihua Lingjun who live in seclusion. Inseparable with Qingxi during the day, and in the hot spring with Qingxi at night 114th floor
Bathing together, Dan Jing felt extremely satisfied and thought this must be the so-called life of a couple that was better than that of gods.
Occasionally, he would go somewhere else with Bihua Lingjun. Bihua Lingjun would still bring back some furry spirit beasts to raise from time to time. In his spare time, he and Bihua Lingjun would sit in the high pavilion in the courtyard and look at the vast ocean scenery. Sometimes, Bihua would reach out and stroke the fur of those spirit beasts with Bihua Lingjun.
At night, after bathing together, he felt even more comfortable when Bihua Lingjun dressed him and combed his hair.
But after some time, Dan Xie began to have doubts. With Qing Xi's company, he should no longer be lonely, but why did he slowly feel more and more empty
This fairyland is indeed nice, but after staying here for two or three years, I started to feel that it was too small and a bit cramped.
After being with Bihua Lingjun for more than ten years, he had almost said everything he could say. To relieve his boredom, he played chess, which he hated the most, but after two or three years, he had a headache.
In fact, they can often go to the mortal world for a walk, but for some reason, there is no place they want to go and they don’t have any special interest.
Dan Jing felt that life was like that hot spring, neither cold nor hot, always tepid and calm.
Dan Yu felt quite satisfied only when they were practicing dual cultivation. However, the most empty thing for him was that he felt that Bihua Lingjun treated him and those furry fairy beasts in a similar way.
During the day, Qing Xi was always with him wherever he walked, sat or lay down, but whenever Qing Xi walked, sat or laid down, there were always one or two or four or five little fairy beasts always with him.
Qingxi bathed with him every night, and Qingxi also bathed the little fairy beasts every day.
Qingxi helped him put on his clothes and combed his hair. Qingxi also scratched and combed the hair of the little fairy beasts.
…
After comparing them one by one, one night, after bathing, Dan Yu said to Bihua Lingjun on the bed: "Qing Xi, do you think it is easier to treat me or those fairy beasts?"
Bihua Lingjun leaned over and kissed his neck: "How can this be compared?"
Dan Yu squinted his eyes and nodded, then untied Bihua Lingjun's belt. This was indeed different and incomparable.
But what else
The more Dan Yu thought about it, the lonelier he felt.
He sometimes recalled the past when he could travel freely between heaven and earth, feeling happy and at ease.
The sword in your hand and the clouds under your feet are both real.
The immortals knelt down and the blood of the demons splattered under the swords, that was also real.
Even later, in the Danxiao Palace, watching the little fairies coming and going, the fragrant and mellow immortal wine and the sweet fruits were all real and could be held in my hands, truly.
He couldn't help but think like this often, and couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it.
One night, he was lying on the couch, his eyes closed absentmindedly. Bihua Lingjun covered him with a brocade quilt and suddenly asked, "Why are you sighing?"
Dan Yu said, "Oh, nothing, maybe there was some just now."
Bihua Lingjun sat aside, looking down at Danyu, and said slowly: "In fact, the opposite of love in the mortal world is not only about eternity, but also about boredom."
Dan Yu suddenly frowned: "Qing Xi, what are you talking about?"
Bihua Lingjun smiled, supported his head with one hand, and half-lay down: "Danyu, you and I have been in the fairyland for more than thirty years."
Dan Yu responded, "Well, only more than 30 years."
Bihua Lingjun said: "More than thirty years is not a short time in the mortal world. It is enough for a person to grow from birth to thirty years old, and it is also enough for a person to grow from a teenager to an old man."
Dan Yu opened his eyes and said, "Qing Xi, what do you want to say?"
Bihua Lingjun said: "If you feel that life is just passing by without much difference, then you are enjoying it. If you feel that life is getting longer and longer, then it is time to change it. What I want to say is that more than 30 years is long enough. If you are tired of it, you can try to change it."
Dan Yu looked straight into Bihua Lingjun's eyes without saying a word.
Bihua Lingjun smiled again: "Emperor, you are with Xiaoxian, isn't it to avoid loneliness?" He raised his hand to adjust the cloud quilt on Danyu's body, "If you feel lonely and boring, then change it."
Dan Yu continued to look at him, then closed her eyes, hummed, lifted the quilt to cover Bihua Lingjun, and tore open his clothes.
Bihua Lingjun seemed to sigh as well: "Alas, Emperor, you..."
The sigh dissipated into the void, and finally he leaned down and kissed Dan Yu's lips.
The next day, Dan Yu wandered alone in a secluded place, staring into the void, lost in thought.
The mouse Jianmeng walked to his feet, looked up and asked, "Why is the emperor in a trance?"
Dan Yu said thoughtfully, "I often hear that in the secular world, there are couples quarreling. Qing Xi and I are considered a couple, or even an old married couple. We have been husband and wife for so long, and we finally had a quarrel last night. Maybe it was because of my attitude that Qing Xi was unhappy. How can I coax him to change his mind?"
Jian Meng scratched behind his ears with his claws: "Well, I have no experience and cannot help the emperor."
Dan Yu continued thoughtfully, "So-called lovers should be like me and Qing Xi, facing each other like this. Isn't the purpose of becoming a couple to have a companion and not be lonely?"
Jian Meng scratched his scalp again: "This... I don't have any experience... I can't help the emperor to judge..."
Dan Yu sighed and continued to daydream.
Bihua Lingjun made the bed and watered the fairy grass in the back garden. When he arrived at the front hall, he ran into Jianmeng, Tangdi Xuangui and others sitting together drinking tea. Jianmeng said, "The Emperor said he wanted to go out for a walk, so he left alone. Judging from the direction, he might be going to the human world."
When Dan Yu came to the human world, he put away his conspicuous habits for the first time and transformed himself into an ordinary-looking middle-aged scholar, strolling in the market of a town.
He arrived at a bookstore and looked around. Although he looked ordinary, he still exuded an extraordinary aura from the inside out. The bookstore owner then personally stepped forward and greeted him, "Sir, are you looking for a book?"
Dan Yu looked at the books on display and nodded, "Well, let me find some for reference."
The bookshop owner said, "The reference I'm talking about is..." He glanced at Dan Yu, then smiled in sudden enlightenment and twirled his fingers, "That?"
Dan Yu groaned.
The bookshop owner smiled brightly, rummaged around behind the counter for a while, stood up, came close to Dan Yu, and half-covered a dark blue book corner and showed it to him: "I don't know if this book is to your liking. The 36 Secret Forms of Peng Zu is a unique copy that can't be found anywhere else."
Dan Yu took it and flipped it open to look at it: "Hmm, it's a book about dual cultivation between man and woman. This is not what I'm looking for."
The bookshop owner took the book and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I see that you are very noble, so this is certainly not worthy of you. What kind of reference book do you want to find?"
Dan Yu frowned and thought: "How should I put it? I have been with him for a long time, but the longer I am with him, the lonelier I feel. I always feel that there is no taste and my heart is empty..."
The bookshop owner smiled and said, "Now that you put it that way, I understand. You and your girlfriend have been together for a long time, but recently I feel that she is getting worse and worse, and more and more boring. Is that right?"
Dan nodded: "Yes, he said, this is called being bored, so let's change it."
The bookshop owner said, "Ah, your friend is really a reasonable person. She probably knows that her fate with you is over. Love is something that will never be forced. It's meaningless to force it. It's better to part ways in peace."
Dan Yu said, "Shouldn't love last forever?"
The bookshop owner said, "It seems that I am a man who values love, but this forever is just talk. Even if you married a lady in a formal ceremony, when you got married, people would send auspicious words, which means they wish you two a happy marriage and live together till old age. How many years is it to live together till old age? A happy marriage of a hundred years is only a hundred years. So a hundred years is the longest. Everything has an end, and love is the same."
Dan Yu put his hands behind his back, thinking silently. Could it be that the truth of the so-called mundane world is just like this? After a while, he said to the bookshop owner, "Do you have any books on this? I'll take some back for further study."
Dan Wei returned to Xianzhou and went into the room. He took out book after book from his sleeve, piling them up into an unusually high pile, and then carefully read through them one by one in the room.
Bihua Lingjun did not say much and let Dan Yu study in the room.
Tang Di and others noticed that something seemed unusual recently, so they took the opportunity to spy on it and found that the pile of books were all legendary stories from the mortal world, such as "Three Days' Fate", "Half a Moment of Joy", "Dew Love", "Zhang Sheng's Chance Encounter with a Pretty Widow", "Wang's Daughter's One-Night Love", etc. They were all stories about romantic encounters, one-night stands, fleeting couples, temporary relationships, extramarital affairs, and short-lived love.
Dan Yu was watching with full concentration. As he watched, he seemed lost in thought. Tang Di could not help but feel trembling with fear. Could it be that the old Emperor had a new love and was going to abandon Ling Jun
Bihua Lingjun was still the same as before, coming and going beside Danjing, pretending not to care about the books. She changed the cold tea at hand for Danjing to warm one, replaced the empty fruit plate with a full one, peeled the oranges and pitted the apricots, and even added a footstool and a pillow for Danjing.
123rd Floor
In the evening, they went to the hot springs for a bath. Bihua Lingjun massaged Danxu's shoulders for a while. Danxu felt very comfortable. He put on his inner robe and closed his eyes on the soft couch by the pool to rest. Bihua Lingjun combed his wet hair with a jade comb and said, "What do you think after reading so many books?"
